336 Condo Sweet Condo

My second blog story about the new condo in Naples Florida. When both my tractors broke down at the same time and both were hospitalized at the Case dealership for at least a week, I decided I should drive back to Florida and spend a week and see what Condo living was all about. I did that and while I was there I changed the lock on the door of the condo. I feel good about having done that as who knows how many old keys there are floating around. This top view of me standing in back of the condo behind the pool. Our condo is directly over my left sholder in the center of the building upper floor.
A better view here of the backside of the building and the pool area. My first couple days there were spent shopping for bed sheets and pillows. Laudering them and making up the beds. Cleaning the kitchen up washing the dishes in the dish washer and just generally getting to know the place. Each day I did take the time to spend 2 hours at the pool getting to know some of the residents there a little better. In the third photo you see the pool area from inside the condo. I love the view from there. It is pleasurable to set there maybe sipping a cool drink and reading a good book. The area is extremely quiet and that is worth a lot to me. It is also extremely well lit up at night time adding good security for all of us.
I was there about a week in all before heading back to Indiana to start the farming process. I tried a little of that today but I feel the soil is just to dry for good germination, so I will wait for rain to add some before planting anymore. It is early yet and so waiting just may be a good choice at this time.
The last picture here is of the dinning area inside. It all is in good shape and needs nothing at this time but TLC and that I hope my family and Susan and I will give it lots of. I hope my kids will all have opportunities to use it and have relaxing vacations in Naples. Maybe even some grown grand children will also be trusted with a stay there, but it could be a little boring for the younger crowd. Although it is just a short 6 mile drive to the down town Naples beaches. So we will see....
